Oasis announce more new tour dates – but some fans are fuming
OASIS have announced two new dates on their reunion tour next year – but fans aren’t happy about it.
The band shared a post on Instagram last night revealing they’ll perform in Australia next year.
Registration for pre-sale tickets is open for 24 hours and those successful in the ballot will be given access to buy them on October 14.
One frustrated fan replied: “Probably be cheaper to fly from the UK to Melbourne than it was to buy a ticket for Wembley”.
Other desperate fans hit out at Manchester lads Noel and Liam Gallagher travelling all the way to the southern hemisphere without stop offs in Brazil, Singapore or New Zealand.
However, other Oasis-tour watchers insisted more dates would be announced, writing: “Brazilians in these comments need to chill out. You will get your turn!”
NME first reported 13 more international cities will be revealed soon with Oasis later announcing Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and East Rutherford in the United States had been added to the world tour.
Also announced is Toronto, Canada and Mexico City, Mexico.
Further shows not yet anounced are Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, and South Korea.
Rounding the list off is gigs in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Santiago, Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The warring brothers have commited to new dates almost weekly since they annouced they had ended their feud and would play iconic Wembley once more.
The Sun revealed Oasis are in talks to release an epic live album of their sell-out gigs.
After the pair announced they had put their long-held differences aside for a comeback tour, Noel, 51, jetted to the French Riviera chateau owned by Liam for talks.
A string of 19 UK and Ireland dates — including two extra Wembley shows — sold out and sparked a furore over inflated prices reaching £500 for standard tickets.
A statement from Oasis’ management later confirmed dynamic pricing would not be used for the American leg of the tour.
They said: “Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model will not be applied to the forthcoming sale of tickets to Oasis concerts in North America.
“It is widely accepted that dynamic pricing remains a useful tool to combat ticket touting and keep prices for a significant proportion of fans lower than the market rate and thus more affordable.
“But, when unprecedented ticket demand (where the entire tour could be sold many times over at the moment tickets go on sale) is combined with technology that cannot cope with that demand, it becomes less effective and can lead to an unacceptable experience for fans.
“We have made this decision for the North America tour to hopefully avoid a repeat of the issues fans in the UK and Ireland experienced recently.”
Surge, or dynamic pricing is when well-known brands adjust their prices during times of high demand.
Businesses across various sectors use the method during busier times to make extra profit or counteract higher costs.
What is dynamic pricing?
The demand-based system was introduced by Ticketmaster in 2022.
It said it was brought in to stop touts and ensure more money goes to the artists.
Essentially, when there is a lot of demand for tickets, and limited supply, the price can go up.
Amid anger over Oasis’s ticket prices, the company said they do not set prices and shared a link to a website that said costs could be “fixed or market-based”.
On its own website, Ticketmaster describes its “Platinum” tickets as those that have their price adjusted according to supply and demand.
It says the goal of the dynamic pricing system is to “give fans fair and safe access to the tickets, while enabling artists and other people involved in staging live events to price tickets closer to their true market value”.
The company claims it is artists, their teams, and promoters who set pricing and choose whether dynamic pricing is used for their shows.
